New Delhi, Aug 3 (UNI) Concerned over the reported threat by militant organisation Hizbul Mujahideen to non-Kashmiris, particularly labourers from Bihar and UP to leave the state, the BJP today deputed a three-member delegation under the leadership of Syed Shahnawaz Hussain to visit Kashmir to study the situation.
Addressing newspersons, BJP spokesman Prakash Javadekar said as per their reports, about 30,000 labourers had already left the state in the wake of the threat.
